Some current choices for systems:
Intel:
815i/PIII-Celeron to 1 GHz (Yawn)
850i/P4 (Rambus) "Fast, but I ain't Bill G."
820i
840i......why bother?
815i Tweaked to support PIII 1.3 (Tualatin)"soon"
870i/P4 (DDR) FTL "soon"
AMD:
750
760 (DDR) When will a good mobo be out?
VIA:
Pro 133A
KT 133
KT 133A (Like on the Abit KT7A Raid)
I want to get a new computer before FEB 15 but I am waiting to see what is comming down the pipe. Right now the KT7A paired with an 1.2 TB looks tempting, but I want to wait and see what DDR boards will be offerd by Other Manufactures....ASUS, ABIT, MSI. et al.
I see that soon there will be an option to run a P4/DDR with a via or Intel chipset....but I am not too impressed with the P4 yet. Mainly because of its price/preformance. Now, if it were not for that damn sse2 instruciton set.
I sure the next box I get will be saddled with an AMD processor I guess I'm am undecided about what chipset and memory combo to run it with.
Up next the video card dilemma. lol!
